The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

Chapter 65 The first step to flying is the over-the-shoulder throw.

Just as Zhang Erhe was feeling helpless against the group of children in front of him, he heard footsteps at the door. He turned around and saw Zeng Shen. He immediately called out:

"Brother Shen, when did you get back?"

"Are these children newly recruited in the last two days?" Zeng Shen asked, looking at the children around him.

Zhang Erhe nodded helplessly and said:
"Yes, Master Ma doesn't know how he tricked those middle-aged women who dance in the square into sending their little kids to the martial arts school to learn kung fu. As a result, I had only taught them the basic horse stance when they all complained that they couldn't take it and wanted to go home."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Shen smiled slightly and walked into the martial arts hall with a hint of nostalgia for Master Ma.

Li Zhiyuan and the other martial arts school disciples were not seen.

He turned and walked out of the martial arts hall, looking at Zhang Erhe who was comforting a child, and asked, "Where are the others?"

"There's a world-class martial arts competition in the provincial capital. My master took everyone to participate early this morning, but because I twisted my leg the day before yesterday, my master made me stay behind," Zhang Erhe said with a look of frustration and regret.

"I see."

"Around when will you be back?"

"If things go smoothly, it will take a week; if you're lucky, it will take about a month."

Zeng Shen nodded, intending to wait until their competition was over before returning to say goodbye, but when he saw the little girl crying the loudest...

He suddenly remembered that there was a first-time purchase he hadn't made on this little girl's body yet, so he thought he'd make that purchase before leaving.

After all, that's a thousand survival points, which isn't a small amount.

Moreover, the fact that this little girl was able to live for three years shows that the curse abilities she gained after becoming a curse-type deity must have been extraordinary.

So Zeng Shen thought that now was the time to take advantage of her youth and naivety.

It can be turned around.

Pooh.

It would be good to get to know each other.

Then, when disaster strikes, they'll lure people into the shelters and use them for their own purposes.

Think of this.

Zeng Shen paused, turned around and walked towards her, bending slightly and saying softly, "Why is the little one crying so sadly?"

The little girl was startled when she saw a stranger suddenly appear in front of her and ran to the side of the martial arts hall.

Zeng Shen smiled faintly and slowly followed.

When the little girl saw the stranger walking towards her again, she was about to run inside again.

Zeng Shen immediately said in a soft and gentle voice, "Don't you remember your brother? That day, your brother was downstairs, holding the little black cat and the little white dog. We met once."

The little girl paused at the sound, turned around, and looked at Zeng Shen's face with her big, watery eyes.

That was indeed the person she had seen before, the one holding the adorable cat; it wasn't a stranger.

Zeng Shen stepped forward, squatted down again, and reached out to pat the little girl's head, saying, "It seems you still remember your brother. Why are you crying so hard? Can you tell your brother?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl burst into tears again, saying, "Waaah, Mommy lied to me."

"What did I lie to you about?"

"They lied to me, saying I could learn kung fu here, and once I learned it, I could fly. But when I asked the uncle, he said it was all just special effects in TV dramas; it's impossible for people to fly."

"Maybe it's not a lie," Zeng Shen said softly.

"Isn't this a lie? Waaah, can my brother fly too?" the little girl cried.

"Yes, I will," Zeng Shen said softly.

"Brother, waah, can you fly one for Yuxing to see?" the little girl pleaded, sobbing.

“Okay,” Zeng Shen nodded, then glanced around to make sure that no one would see him from this angle. Suddenly, his consciousness sharpened, and he floated a meter into the air.

In that instant, the little girl stopped crying, her small mouth opened wide, and her big, watery eyes showed shock.

As soon as Zeng Shen landed, the little girl immediately exclaimed in a clear, childlike voice, "Mommy didn't lie to me, people really can fly."

Seeing that the little girl had stopped crying, Zeng Shen smiled and asked, "Want to learn?"

"I want to learn, can you teach me, brother?" the little girl asked longingly.

Zeng Shen had a sudden inspiration and said with a smile, "Okay, but if you want to learn this, you have to become my apprentice."

"Become an apprentice?" The little girl looked up, her big eyes blinking, her expression suddenly becoming very serious. She bent her knees, clasped her hands in a fist salute, and said:
"Disciple Yuxing greets Master."

The little girl's kneeling caught Zeng Shen off guard, and he immediately said, "Get up quickly, why are you kneeling?"

"I see on TV that when people become apprentices, they always do it like this, and they always have to be filial to their masters." The little girl didn't get up immediately, but spoke earnestly in her childish voice.

"Pfft," Zeng Shen couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this. It seems that all the kids these days have a martial arts dream.

He then reached out and pulled him up, saying, "Get up, good boy. Master doesn't care about these things here. As long as you have the will, that's enough."

"Oh." The little girl nodded and asked, "Master, what kind of skill was that when you flew up just now? Was it lightness skill?"

"What Master just did was called magic."

"What is magic?" the little girl asked curiously, seemingly having never been exposed to or heard of magic before.

"It's a magical skill that can make people fly."

Zeng Shen thought for a moment and then said.

"When can you teach me this magic trick, Master?" the little girl asked in a clear voice, her face full of anticipation.

“You can do it now, but this magic trick has many steps. The first step is that you can’t tell anyone else that you just saw Master fly, understand?” Zeng Shen said.

The little girl nodded very seriously, as if she were being secretly taught by her master. She quickly assured him, "Yuxing understands. This is a secret between me and my master. Even if Mom asks, Yuxing won't tell her."

“Very good, this is our little secret, and no one can tell you. Now, your master will teach you this magic trick.”

"Will the rain star be able to fly into the sky soon?"

Zeng Shen shook his head. "Flying isn't something you can do all at once. You need to start by learning some basic skills, and it will take at least a year before you can fly."

"Yes, yes, I understand, Master. Please teach me quickly, Master." The little girl nodded eagerly.

"Okay." Zeng Shen nodded in satisfaction and began to teach seriously and methodically, saying, "The first step in flying is the over-the-shoulder throw. Come closer, your master will teach you."

As he spoke, Zeng Shen gently grabbed the little girl's arm the instant she excitedly leaned forward, and executed an over-the-shoulder throw.

Just as she was about to touch the ground, he slowed down, reached out to protect her waist, and gently laid her down on the ground.

[Congratulations, host! You have suppressed a third-tier curse-type deity and gained 1000 survival points.]

Upon hearing the system notification, Zeng Shen smiled and helped the little girl up, saying:

"Have you learned this?"

The little girl nodded blankly, then shook her head.

"I haven't learned it yet."

“It’s okay. That uncle knows that move too. Go over to him and tell him you want to learn the shoulder throw. After he teaches you, go to room 902 in our building and find the master. He will then secretly teach you the second step.”

"Okay, Master." The little girl nodded happily and ran towards Zhang Erhe.

[Congratulations, host! You have defeated a third-tier curse-type deity and gained 100 survival points.]
